Chinese tourism consumption vis-à-vis tourism development strategies in the Arctic

The current national Arctic strategies of Sweden, Norway, and Finland consider tourism as a key industry and point out its significance for sustainable development in the region. Concurrently, China’s Arctic Policy talks about China being the source of tourists to the Arctic. Additionally, the tourism industry’s own strategies recognise that the Asian market shows strong growth in the number of tr

Flickering guiding light for maritime decarbonisation: Past developments and future implications of the policy mix consistency and comprehensiveness for international shipping

Although being promoted as the most eco-friendly form of transportation, the shipping sector currently accounts for around 3 % of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, however, with increasing global trade emissions are expected to increase. Even if energy efficiency gains have been accomplished, the majority of the global fleet continue to run on fossil fuels and the total emissions from ships a

Airborne bacteria in hospital operating rooms during ongoing surgery

IntroductionPost-operative infections obtained from open-wound surgeries constitute an unnecessary load on both healthcare and affected patients. It is well established that increased air cleanliness reduces the number of post-operative infections. Therefore, the ventilation system is important in order to reduce the number of infectious particles in the air during surgery. Ventilation with high a

Strängare straff har föga effekt när det gäller våld i nära relationer

Män som slår kvinnor är i regel återfallsbrottslingar, skriver forskaren Ardavan Khoshnood. Eftersom brotten begås i stundens hetta är straffens längd sällan avskräckande.Men who beat women are usually recidivists, writes researcher Ardavan Khoshnood.

Fugitive cult receptions of conspiracy thriller Utopia

This article studies the relationship between ‘fugitive receptions’ and excessive audience engagement with the cult television series Utopia (Channel Four, 2013-2014). ‘Fugitive receptions’ are centrifugal and unpredictable and thus this research offers an unusual perspective on our normative understanding of media engagement as predictable and measurable. The research relies on audience-fan inter

Cross laminated timber at in-plane shear loading : Strength and Fracture analysis of shear mode III

Theoretical investigations of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) at in-plane shear loading conditions are presented with focus on shear failure mode III, relating to shear stresses acting in the crossing areas between orthogonally bonded laminations of different layers. Failure criteria for structural design, test configurations and material parameters are discussed. Full 3D finite element (FE) analyses
